LIVE: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes / Black Futures @ Peddler, Sheffield

The story of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes is a wild one. In mid-2015 there were a few social media rumblings and the rumour mill was chattering about Frank Carter being back on the scene with a band. Fast forward just under 4 years and the band are already

LIVE: Enter Shikari @ The Dome, London

Tufnell Park Dome has a long history of hosting legendary bands, and this year was chosen as one of the venues to host a number of Brits Week performances. In conjunction with War Child, the charity week of shows gives fans a chance to see some of the biggest

LIVE: Good Charlotte / Sleeping With Sirens / Boston Manor @ Alexandra Palace, London

If there’s any modern day pop-punk band that wasn’t somewhat inspired by Good Charlotte, it would be a surprise. Their music has become a staple in any comprehensive pop-punk playlist, and is recognisable to most from the first few notes alone. That’s why, as a newer

LIVE: Black Peaks / Phoxjaw @ The Parish, Huddersfield

There are moments during tonight’s performance when a barn behind a pub in a humble, quiet Yorkshire town could be confused with Wembley Arena. Black Peaks’ intensity, note-perfect songs and sheer volume bring the aura of a stadium show into the confines of a room that holds

LIVE: You Me At Six @ Scala, London

Since the release of their latest album ‘VI’ back in early October, You Me At Six have barely allowed themselves a break. From embarking on two tours concurrently here in the UK in December, to an extensive European tour, the five members of this band have been

LIVE: This Wild Life / William Ryan Key @ The Key Club, Leeds

Leeds’ Key Club is everything a small venue should be – dark, sweaty, underground, with a good bar, great sound, the world’s stickiest floors, and mildly questionable toilets. And an over-stage sewage pipe. The last one may be slightly more specific, but it’s always a good venue to see

LIVE: Parkway Drive / Killswitch Engage / Thy Art Is Murder @ O2 Apollo, Manchester

It’s been more than twelve years since Parkway Drive first made their way to Manchester from their native Australia. Back then, they were playing venues like the much-beloved and long-defunct Jillys in support of the likes of Comeback Kid, but tonight sees them returning to one of the city’s

LIVE: Jimmy Eat World / Saltwater Sun @ Rock City, Nottingham

Jimmy Eat World are a well loved, hugely appreciated and greatly respected band. They provided a soundtrack for a generation and haven’t stopped creating since, all the while becoming renowned for putting on an incredible live performance. It isn’t very often that they grace British shores, so it’s unsurprising

LIVE: Cancer Bats @ Rebellion, Manchester

The UK is in the icy chokehold of Old Man Winter as the streets of Manchester are engulfed in a slight dusting of snow, and there’s a light drizzle in the air. The winter weather is causing chaos across the country with trains cancelled, schools closed, roads

LIVE: Architects / Beartooth / Polaris @ Wembley Arena, London

When one of the country’s most beloved heavy bands announces a show at a venue like Wembley Arena, there’s only one way to react. You tell all your friends to buy tickets and you all travel from wherever in the country you
